Ingredients
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- ½ cup sugar
- 6 TBSP unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 large egg
- ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp pumpkin pie spice blend
- 1/4-1/3 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F and line a 6-cup muffin tin with paper liners. I love using parchment paper liners so there's zero sticking and the bottom of the muffin stays soft and fluffy.
- In a large bowl, add pumpkin puree and sugar. Beat together with a hand-mixer until the mixture is smooth.
- Next beat in the cooled melted butter, egg, and vanilla. Mix well.
- Add flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and salt and mix with a fork until just incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Divide mixture evenly between lined muffin tins. This recipe makes 6 muffins with some pretty serious muffin top action! Want them a bit smaller? Feel free to portion the batter into 8-10 slightly smaller muffins and add any extra chocolate chips where needed.
- Bake for 23-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean from the center of the muffins. Oven temps and times will vary house to house. Mine are usually done at 23 min, for example.
- Allow muffins to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire cooling rack and allow to fully cool before diving in face-first! Hooray muffins!
